In a letter addressed to Singh, Mir has expressed serious concern over the harassment of innocent students as reported, who are studying in different colleges and educational Institutions in Punjab.

The students need to be encouraged to carry on with their studies, Mir said in a letter and added that Punjab Government must take measure to put an end to the harassment of students from J&K.
